In May 1977, Elton John took the stage at London’s iconic Rainbow Theatre with Ray Cooper for a 6 show residency. These performances were the first Elton-and-Ray only shows and featured the first live debuts of tracks; “Roy Rogers”, “Cage The Songbird”, “Idol” and “I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford)”. Record Store Day 2025 marks the first-ever official vinyl release, featuring a selection of highlight tracks from the show curated by Elton John including “Sweet Painted Lady”, “Idol”, “Dan Dare” and more.

Claire ★★★★★

I’ve been waiting for a proper pressing of these ’77 shows, and the clarity on this vinyl is fantastic—Ray Cooper’s percussion really cuts through. The gatefold sleeve is a nice touch too.

Stella B. ★★★★★

The quiet, intimate vibe of just Elton and Ray is perfectly captured on this 180g vinyl, and the pressing is dead quiet between tracks. The soundstage is incredibly wide for a live recording, and the gatefold jacket is a nice bonus.

Elizabeth ★★★★☆

The 180g pressing feels properly hefty, and the surface noise is almost nil—just a faint crackle between tracks. It's a solid capture of that stripped-down Elton-and-Ray energy, though I wish the sleeve notes had a bit more detail on the setlist.
